Sure. If you don't want to be without your camera for the time that takes, don't want to bear the risk of loss, damage, or delay in transit... there is another option with only half an hour downtime.

The exchange will be under warranty, and picked up and delivered by Canon official repair, so I'm not worried about possible damage. The real downer is the waiting time, they promised 15 days,
mas o menos
. Another thing is that I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that I void the warranty by fixing it myself.
